re: Enough about Richard Murphy....

Stupid and unkind to pick on particular players in such a time of systemic crisis. Especially don't pick on RM. He's used in an odd manner. Holliday isn't breaking gains, either. The offense has really taken a mammoth step backwards since a more than adequate showing in the Georgia game. The fast backs, KW, TM and TH, are doing nothing. The field is not open to them. Reggie Bush and Joe McKnight wouldn't be faring much better. All that talent on the offensive line, yet no room to run outside. Should have been an 8th pick 6 on Saturday against Ole Miss. The offense is a mess and a waste of good talent. The defense was oversold. There's no Kyle Williams or Glenn Dorsey in the middle. There's no Marcus Spears on the end. The linebackers are probably doing the best they can, but LSU isn't recruiting linebackers anymore. The secondary could be good again. Chad Jones and Peterson impress me. QB?
